After reading the reasons advanced by fourteen leading financial men in the nation, setting forth just what the Anglo-French loan means to the United States, it would be difficuit to find dny person of open mind to enter objectior. to this transaction. To complain, after all the ramifica- tions have been brushed aside by fourteen such men as those over whose signatures the explanation of the loan was presented argues ofieself but a tool of some particular interest that has already discredited jtself by issuing falsehoods against this great loan. There is no reason to doubt these men when they affirm that the se- curity upon which the loan is based is absolute; that we are loaning the money so France and Great Britain may purchase from us things which we want to sell them; that not one dollar of the money will leave these shores; that some Americans, directly, or indirectly, will come into possession of it in cash payment of goods sold; that a commercial credit will established in this country to be used for increasing our trade and taking care of our surplus products; that in order to further American trade it is absolutely necessary the United | States become a creditor ndtion. As a teacher of economics unfolds te his class the intricate workings of laws pertaining to that subject, these financ¢ial men have put into a nut shell the various reasons for Americans subscribing to the $500,- 000,000, loan. Pointing out that this ccuntry has not been accustomed to extend credits upon so to foreign nations, people do not understand credits mean to the maintenance our agricultural and commercial in- terests, the financiers express their | opinions by setting forth the follow- ing plain facts in the case: “During be so large a scals | and that many what such ot normal times Great Britain and France purchase from us, every year, abouat $7560,000,000 in farm products and other commodities, and we buy heavily from them. Ordin- arily the payments by one coun- try to the other are accontplished without the shipment of coin, the indebtedness of one country golng to offset that of the othe: and the difference, usually con- stituting a small balance is cov- ered by gold shipments or other- wise, an, owing to the war, our two chief customers, have fallen off, and their purchases from us have increased enormously. Thus, the total trade balance in our favor for the year ended last June was over one billion dollars; of which $947,000,000, or over 86 per cent, was represented by the trade balance against these two countries. It is clear- ly impossible for these countries to continue to meet these heavy balances through the ordinary channels of international ex- change. Such heavy shipments of gold as would be required, for instance, are not only diffi- cult, but in these d unwise to undertake. Morever, this coun- try already holds a stock of gold larger than its immediate’ uses require. “America must, therefore, find a solution of the problem of fin- ancing for a time this faverable trade movement; or else run the risk of losing a large pdrt of its export business; for the United States appears to be by no means the only country in the world where Great Britain and France can buy, on favorable terms, the grain and other commodities they require- If these two great nations are obliged materially to decrease their purchases from us, the result may bhe lower prices for our farm products, and less work for our factories.” To put the thing in terms for the layman, the United States wants France and England to remain the fame good customers they have al- ways, been, so they may add to the prosperity of our communities, and, to do this, we must allow them to settic by “some system of deferred pay- ments for the commodities they buy from us.” This loan, amounting to only two-thirds of what France and England purchase from us each nor- mal vear, is merely a system of de- ferred payments, We are simply lend- ing them money so they may buy from us things which we really want to sell. Coming from Americans whose patriotism is unquestioned, who have every interest of the nation at heart, and who aver that every dollar of the lcan will go directly, some American merchant, or indirectly, to farmer, working or manufacturer, in cash payments for food-stuff ing, material, and oth saries the English and French will purchase here, ' this explanation should quelch all worry over the final outcome of this gigantic proposition The explanation is timely, in of the ' malicious mendaciums that have been floated against the .loan; man, clota- raw, neces- view high and the low, the good and i@ Bad, the rich and the poor, the lomedian and the tragedian, the sin- it will set at rest the wagging tongues that either know whereof they speak. not nor care not FACTS AND FANCIES.

Satisfying Public Demands, (Norwich Bulletin.) Whenever there is a needless sac- rifice of life which often occurs when a daring individual attempts a hair- raising stunt for the sake of enter- taining a crowd, it is usually accom- panied by an appeal for the abolishw ment of such recklessness. This is what is being heard following the death of Blmer Olson, the balloonist who was killed following a high fall when the ropes of his parachute be- came entangled and failed to allow the umbrella to open on the last of a series of four ‘parachute drops, at the Brockton fair. It was a tragic affair which shock- ed the crowd that witnessed it, but it was only what liable to happen every time such risk is incurred. It is the public demand which is to a large extent responsible for it, With- out such an attraction many a fair is considered tame and not worth at- tending. The need of having some thrilling exhibition has been long rec- ognized when it comes to getting and satisfying a crowd, and it is always possible to satisfy that demand be- cause there are enough daredevils who know no fear and are perfect- Iy willing to risk their lives for the g00d pay and the plaudits of the onlookers, Such cases amount to no more than public suicide and yvet that same ele- ment of danger exists in the high dives, loop the loop and high speed tests. There is small satisfaction to be gained from such exhibitions where a fatality likely to occur at any time, but fortunate, indeed was it that this last deplorable death included only the exhibitor. Too often does it happen that it causes several other deaths or serious injur- fes. Independent Voting in Connecticut. (Rockville Leader.) It is our candid opinion that the day is coming in local affairs, not only here in Vernon and Rockville, but in many towns and cities throughout the country, when thers will be no such thing as a party tic- ket at a town or municipal election. In our recent town election 15 per cent. of those who voted did not vote straight party tickets. This is sig- nificant. A big corporatjon seeking a man for an important and respon- sible position doesn’t concern itself as to the applicant’s politics. It iy | chiefly interested in his efficiency. And that's the principle that should car- |ry the greatest weight with voters at town and municipal elections.” Indced, this is the vVery essense of * good citizenship. Town or municipal government is a business proposition. The citizen with th highest con- ception of his duty votes every time for the best qualified and most effi- cient men for important town = and lcity offices. e WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office.

A few months ago the first telephone message was transmitted across the continent. Today we hear that a still greater distance has been covered by a wirel telephone. I'orty vears ago a current of electricity could not be made to jump more than a few inches through a vacuum. To- day there is no known limit to it or rather to the capacity of new instru- ments to detect it. Some electrical engineers believe that messages coula be sent to the moon and perhaps out into infinite space through the ether Just as easily as from San Francisco to Honolulu through the atmosphere. | With all th no man can tell us what electricity is. All we know about it is that when a certain thing is done certain results follow. Our Police. (New Haven Times Leader.) Cities of New York, Conn., Mass., Maine and New Jersey have recently suffered because of an ‘“epidemic” of burglaries. Judging from what has been made public about these crimes Connec- ticut people have lost less and heen victims of fewer burglaries than other cities of like size in the “burglary belt.” All appearances indicate that the burglars are unusually bold and cun- ning, and thus far they have not been caught. In some instances fault has been found because the police and plain clothes men have not caught the crooks while in the act of burglar- izing and looting the homes of their victims and because the police have not found such clues as trained sleuths are supposed to be able to readily dis- cover. New Haven has 150 policemen and about a dozen detectives. Most of them are diligent, intelligent, faith- ful, but they cannot be on duty 24 hours every day and live—hence some work days and others nights. There are' about 30,000 homes and build- ings in New Haven.—Not more than 100 policemen and detectives are on duty at night, which means that each officer has an average of 3,000 houses and buildings to watch, if it is as- sumed that he can fairly be held re- sponsible for crimes that may he com- mitted in each of them—some job, don't yvou think. The police are employed to guard public and private property and are rightfully presumed to be experts in their calling— they may be expected to recognize criminals when other peo- ple, not professional crook catchers, are oblivious to their presence, but just bear in mind that most police- men are only human—not one of them can be in two places at one time. If it so happens that a policeman and a burglar are at the same place at the same time the policeman can be depended upon to get his man if brave, quick action can do it. But not a burglar has been caught doing any of these jobs in New Haven, say the critics—True, but in not one instance have home owners seen the crooks who have ransacked and looted their premises, sometimes doing so in broad daylight when all the family was at home, at other times going over the house from first floor to at- tic while the family slept. If burglars can do these looting stunts without even.being seen or heard by their victims, is it fair to claim that the police, having no clues whatever, can trace them to their lair and confront them with proof that they belong in jail? These crooks are professionals and do not leave their booty where it can be easily discovered, nor do they steal property difficult to conceal. Our police are doing all they pos- sibly ean to rid New Haven of pro- fessional and other burglars. Tt is not fair to censure them for failure to be at the exact spot where a burg- lar has decided to be at some partic- ular hour of the day or night—the burglar can watch the police officer who is easily identified and plan ac- cordingly—the officer is always at a disadvantage when he undertakes burglar-catching in uniform. We feel confident that'most of our policemen deserve our confidence and cordial support. They are doing all that it is possible for them to do un- der the circumstances which confront them in New Haven. Poem.” (From the Manchester (Eng) Guardian.) Robert Service, the Canadian writ- er, who is at present engaged in Red Cross work in France, has sent to the Paris correspondent of an Eng- lish paper what he describes as “the best war poem I have seen.” The verses, which Mr. Service says, were found by a French priest on the body of an English soldier killed at the Marne, run as follows:— They say that war is hell, accurest, The sin impossible to be forglven; Yet I can look upon it at worst, And still see blue in heaven For when I note how nobly natures form Under the it true That he who made the earthquake and the storm Perchance made battles, too.

The failure of the schools to teach Christianity, Mr. Bodley placed on the shoulders of Christianity agd not on the schools.

For we of the clergy are asked to preach today all over the | United States on Christian education. By way of being clear and explicit let me fix your attention on two words which are familiar and which con- vey two sides of the same process, Instruction and education. This is a fit time to use these words. The world is at war and we are discussing ‘‘National defense” somewhat fever- ishly. Instruction and education are both military terms. We use them as interchangeable or combine them so that education stands for both. Here is exactly our beginning of er- rors. Instruction—Involves a most essen- tial part of our child—training. It involves first putting into the mind and character of the child material of the best and most proper kind. Secondly it includes the teaching of orderly logical arrangement of that material through proper habits of thought. In all student life now we facts enough. Life is crowded with facts beyond our power to ar- range them. The developing senses are fairly crowded and are in dan- ger of being wearied by the new things they see and hear. Our fever- ish haste brings us rapidly into con- tact with a vast procession of natur- al phenomena which challenge at- tention by their novelty. The range of studies has been greatly expanded also and all sorts of scientific wonders are displayed to the young mind. There is one depart- ment only where this is not true. The chiefest facts about its own woul are relegated to a back place or kept con- cealed in a closet. Religious fore- cepts are not taugh in their proper proportion. This of itself would account largely for the second defects of our instruc- tion: Discipline. I reminded you a moment ago of the military character of this word. There could be no ar- my and there can be no organized & cial order without discipline. The American child is not reverent or re- spectful or modest in the presence of parents or elders or dignitaries. Sometimes the clergymen on his round of visits meets this in the disorderly uncomfortable character of his visit to a family in his parish. The chil- dren take possession of the scene and possibly one sings out ‘“‘Mama! Mama! I know that man: [ have seen him on Main street.” Twenty stu- dents at Annapolis have just been disciplined by the president and sec- retary of the navy for maltreating fellow students. All the roughness of college and High school horseplay are part and parcel of the same thing. I have frequently ridden in public con- veyances at the out coming of schools and scholars old enough to know bet- ter have been a riotious nuisance to other passengers. In Sunday school we meet the same unruly spirit that has evidently not been taught self control at home. We can readily judge what different homes are in t respect by the children out of those homes severally. nd mental discipline, like a scl- dier's darill, is hardly achieved by the smattering of many kinds of knowl- edge that we cram into the youthful brain, Drill, drill, drill over few movements is the military method. Little by little the soldier masters the necessary movements, First he is et up,” limbered, made supple by simple gymnastic exercises. He is taught how to walk and carry himself so as to breathe freely, and how to handle his gun. Then he is made to do all these things with many other men simultaneously. He also learns how to take care of his health in order té be always ready to use body and mind at their full efficiency. So the pupil must be given the ele- ments of conduct and of learning first and thoroughly and when sufficiently drilled and disciplined be becomes a useful member of the school, the stu- dent body to which he belongs. Then by and by he will grow into a val- uable member of the body politic— the state; and of the body religious— the church; or of any other disci- plined body of humanity. Unless drilled and disciplined thor- first of all as to his own con- duct and then as to his relations to teachers and fellow pupils he will never be as useful or agreeable as he should be.

D. McMILLAN tended to. He must learn to be dili- gent and accurate and honest with himself and others. A bluffer rarely becomes a scholar or a valuable asset to school, family, church or state. But here let me limit and correct a false notion. All this is a mighty task not to be calmly left wholly to teachers. Have American parents abdlcated their thrones as fathers and mothers set over a houvsehold for this very purpose of training children and not merely for producing them? It is so in all too many cases. If we as parents are not prompted by our sense of duty and affection to attempt to bring up our children in the nur- ture .and admonition of the Lord and of the best of men we cannot expect paid strangers to do it effectually in our stead or blame them if the omit some of the finer things in the edu- cation of children. We must also remember that they are hampered by the fact that the laws governing public schools limit the teachers’ power or right to give religious instruction. Parents are not so hampered or restrained, I have chosen the text because it reminds us of the fact that parents after all are intended to be charged wita the training of their own children in mind and soul. Let me quote the entire passage, “Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor thy father and mother (waich is the first commandment with promise), that it may be well with thee and that thou mayest live long on the earth. And ye fathers provoke mot your children to wrath, but nurture them in the chastening and admoni- tion of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4, Just think of it, that antiquated apos- tle expects fathers to take a hand in the training of their children. They are actually to spank them when they are naughty, but never in anger, for that shows the father to be an un- disciplined tyrant, In the New Testa- ment the verb from which chastening comes means “to ‘chastise, to punish. Chasten and chastise are one word in origin. “Admonition” means “put in mind.” Fathers are to put into the minds of their boys and girls cer- tain things, What things? “Of the Lord.” It was about God above all else. Ideas of the Christian faith as taught by the Lord Jesus Christ. How, many of you fathers do that? How many of you leave it for your wife, and she most likely leaves it for the day school or Sunday school teacher to do in her stead. Thus you will see that both nurture or chastening and admoition are included in “Instruc- tion” is the first half or stage of the child’s training. Discipline and put- ting in mind are the very elements of instruction. These thngs belong essentially at first to the parents be- cause they require the individual sep- arate drill which the soldier receives before he is fit to be put in ranks or company with others. Then and only then may we venture to lead forth our children or youth into life's actual battles. Ala Alas!
